Your article about The Ultimate List of Reading
Reward Programs for Kids – Creative Home Life is the best I have read! The creativehomelife.com
site is interesting and useful, keep it that way! Kisses everyone! 🙂
This woulda definitely got me reading more when I was a kid, lol. I remember having summer reading for Honors English – whew, man did I procrastinate on that!
That was my hope when creating this list… That these programs would excite kids to read more.
I heard if you delay your child’s reading skill development until he or she enters school, you are putting your child at risk…
Did you know that 67% of all Grade 4 students cannot read at a proficient level!
I did not know that. Reading is very important, we ready everyday in our home 🙂
